^^^Do they smell like french fries?

[pksystems]

Nope. (I was surprised) They did need a good cleaning tho.

Since they are display panels, they have no buttons, so I need to drop $20 on a remote control to change inputs.

I bought this press off of LetGo the other day. The guy wanted $200, but had no takers. I finally called and told him I wanted it and he said if you pick it up today, he'll take $50!

I've never seen a press that used W8's as the uprights. It's always channel or even welded plate. You can seem my HF 20 ton press behind it - looks like a toy compared to this thing.

It came with the air-over-hydraulic pump. It probably weighs 800 lbs. I can get a 50 ton ram with 12" stroke for about $600.

Solid little step ladder...............$5.00.

^^^ That's a very handy size, Paul. I have one that size and use it all the time. One of my stays is bent though so I have to be careful!

$5 is a steal!

Funny, locally there has been a Targa rear glass on the local Craigslist for $250, literally been listed for years. Now, all of the sudden, the seller raised the price to $750, LOL.

About a month ago we went to an estate sale bard cleanout they had sold the house in 2 days and didnt expect to i guess. It was freezing cold but it was crowded. Everything was dirt cheap it was a scramble! Tons of snap-ons . A whole metric wrench set 2 or 3 full sets of sockets and swivels and misc pieces. It was rummaging in a small dark basement with 10 other guys. I got a giant old drill press, bead rollers, an alignment plate, an old chainsaw a roto tiller. There was some old cars out back but we didnt ask the price. a 52 chrysler newport, a studebaker pickup, and a beetle that was beyond scrap metal. It was very interesting. We filled the truck. I think i spent about 60 bucks. My brother made off with the snap-ons but heres a few bad pics

Wheelhorse 877 got for free. Got it running and driving already

[rfuerst911sc]

^^^ Nice score on the WH , I grew up in upstate NY and wheel horse seemed to be one of the major brands of choice right behind Deere and Cub Cadet . You won't lose any money on that one .

2010 Tacoma with just under 80K on the clock. The frame, leaf springs and control arms were replaced under warranty by Toyota....breezed thru inspection only requiring 2 license plate bulbs. The purchase price was $10k, which is a bit under KBB. Certainly not a steal, but a pretty good deal to me.

Went to a yard sale yesterday picked up a two person outdoor glider for 15.00 I'm sure it was 100 plus new . A great addition to our deck furniture and it matches !

Saturday local estate sale.
box of tools --$10.00 all quality stuff(channel lock, Stanley, Snap-on, etc)
box of steel wool/emery cloth/sand paper--$1.00

[cmccuist]

Went to a yard sale that started EARLY - 6:00 am. I was the first one in the garage and saw a chainsaw in a plastic tray. Husqvarna 350 with an extra chain and bar, plus wrench and instruction manual. I asked the lady what she wanted for it - $10!

Got it home and it started on the second pull. I always wanted a Husky. (I don't have a pic of it, so this is one off the internet).

I don't know anything about the value of these things so...worth it or not?


Snap-On bottom box and a Mac top box never used in a professional environment. Cleaned and washed out and ready to go. The bottom box measures 50¼ by 20½ by 44 Tall and has 12 drawers. The top box is 26x15x19 and has 10 drawers. It's all cleaned/washed out and ready. I need $1500 and I won't separate. Not Negotiable. Last price drop or I will keep it.

[1990C4S]

As nice as they are, at $1,500 keep a spot for it. I don't think you will get over $1k.

People want shiny new boxes.
